One of my favourites from my years in Tanzania. This elephant was photographed at Tarangire Safari Lodge - perhaps the most quintessential place in East Africa, run by our friends Jon and Annette Simonson.

I took this photo of a wild Mustang mare and her foal on that dirt road heading to Toroweap area of the Grand Canyon. I was just driving along when I saw a small band of 20 horses. I had to stop and take photos.

Very nice scene, well done. I like how the peaceful the mustangs look. Nice background also.

I would like to ask for some assistance from the birders if they would be so kind. While I was out trying out the new Nikon 80-400 AFS lens on the local pelican population I ran across a feathered critter I have never seen in my over 50 years in these parts. I have never seen a diving bird go after catch and eat a blue crab. Could anyone supply a name?Thanks Larry
